This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read crisp at display sizes. Capitals are stately and fairly wide, with strong vertical stress and clean, straight-sided stems; the curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and tightly controlled. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with a moderate x-height, distinct two-storey a and g, and narrow joins that emphasize the contrast. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes.
It performs well in editorial typography such as magazines, book design, and newspaper-style features, particularly for headlines, pull quotes, and subheads where the contrast and sharp finishing strokes can shine. It can also support formal branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic serif voice.
Overall it conveys a traditional, bookish tone—polished and serious rather than casual. The sharp terminals and high contrast add a sense of sophistication and editorial authority, making it feel suited to established, classical settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a refined display edge—balancing traditional proportions with crisp detailing for strong presence in larger sizes while maintaining a familiar reading texture.
The rhythm is relatively tight, with clear differentiation between characters (notably I/J, O/Q, and the two-storey forms in the lowercase). Stroke endings tend to come to fine points, giving the face a slightly dramatic, engraved-like finish, especially noticeable in diagonals and the Q tail.
